覆按关于各国探测及使用外空包括月球与其他天体之活动所应遵守原则之条约，
鉴于从事发射外空物体之国家及国际政府间组织虽将采取种种预防性措施，但此等物体可能间或引起损害，
确认亟需制定关于外空物体所造成损害之责任之有效国际规则与程序，以特别确保对此等损害之受害人依本公约规定迅速给付充分及公允之赔偿，
深信此种规则与程序之制订有助于加强为和平目的探测及使用外空方面之国际合作，
爰议定条款如下：

第四条
一、遇一发射国之外空物体在地球表面以外之其他地方对另一发射国之外空物体或此种外空物体所载之人或财产造成损害，并因此对第三国或对第三国之自然人或法人造成损害时，前二国在下列范围内对第三国应负连带及个别责任：
（ａ）倘对第三国之地球表面或飞行中之航空机造成损害对第三国应负绝对责任；
（ｂ）倘对地球表面以外其他地方之第三国之外空物体或此种物体所载之人或财产造成损害，对第三国所负之责任视前二国中任何一国之过失或任何一国所负责之人之过失而定。
二、就本条第一项所称负有连带及个别责任之所有案件而言，对损害所负之赔偿责任应按前二国过失之程度分摊之；倘该两国每造过失之程度无法断定，赔偿责任应由该两国平均分摊之。此种分摊不得妨碍第三国向负有连带及个别责任之发射国之任何一国或全体索取依据本公约应予给付之全部赔偿之权利。

三、外空物体自其领土或设施发射之国家应视为共同发射之参加国。
第六条
一、除本条第二项另有规定者外，绝对责任应依发射国证明损害全部或部份系由求偿国或其所代表之自然人或法人之重大疏忽或意在造成损害之行为或不行为所致之程度，予以免除。
二、遇损害之造成系因发射国从事与国际法，尤其是联合国宪章及关于各国探测及使用外空包括月球与其他天体之活动所应遵守原则之条约不符之活动时，不得免除任何责任。
第七条
本公约之规定不适用于发射国之外空物体对下列人员所造成之损害：
（ａ）该发射国之国民；
（ｂ）外国国民，在自该外空物体发射时或其后之任何阶段至降落时为止参加该物体操作之时期内,或在受该发射国之邀请而在预定发射或收回地区紧接地带之时期内。

第十一条
一、依本公约向发射国提出赔偿损害要求，无须事先竭尽求偿国或其所代表之自然人或法人可能有之一切当地补救办法。
二、本公约不妨碍一国或其可能代表之自然人或法人向发射国之法院、行政法庭或机关进行赔偿要求。但一国已就所受损害在发射国之法院、行政法庭或机关中进行赔偿要求者，不得就同一损害，依本公约或依对关系各国均有拘束力之另一国际协定，提出赔偿要求。
第十二条
发射国依本公约负责给付之损害赔偿额应依照国际法及公正与衡平原则决定，俾就该项损害所作赔偿得使提出赔偿要求所关涉之自然人或法人，国家或国际组织恢复损害未发生前之原有状态。
